Happy Spring from Patra, Greece

The weather today was absolutely beautiful here in Patra, Greece. Athanasia wanted to go for a walk down by the sea and I asked if she wanted to bring our camera. She began taking photos and some of them are really gorgeous! The sunset tonight was amazing and the clouds were just right to help her capture some of these “almost like a painting” snapshots. We thought it would be nice to share some of this beauty on our blog here and get back to sharing recipes tomorrow. There is so much beauty in nature so enjoy the scenery, happy spring and welcome to Patra! Continue reading Happy Spring from Patra, Greece! →

May I say, bad idea to write down this recipe after I had the tooth removed, because now I am drooling!
